Can't Fall in Love Without You (Christian Yelich)

82

Sorry for the delay!

Elizabeth turned over in bed and met her husband's gaze. "Happy anniversary, my beautiful Ellie," he said with a small smile. "I can't believe I still get to wake up next to you each morning. I'm so lucky."

She returned his smile. "Happy five years, Chris," she whispered, gently pressing her lips against his. "What should we do with another full day without the kids?" she asked quietly. She was both excited to have a little alone time with her doting husband and a bit saddened that the kids were away at her parents' house. The silence never settled well with her.

He held her face in his hands and kissed her before informing her "food, cuddling, and a lot of sex," which caused her to laugh.

It had been six months to the day since Christian let her know he was done trying to have another baby, and they had been much better off since. Happy and full of love. Secure in their relationship together.

Elizabeth was no longer obsessive about conceiving, and Christian no longer felt used. He knew how loved he was. Elizabeth and his babies let him know every day.

He continued to kiss her lips, hovering over her while starting to pull up her thin, white tank top. "So beautiful, so soft," he exhaled before planting gentle kisses across her stomach and continuing to inch her tank top even further up her body.

Once they were revealed to him, he focused all his attention on her breasts, licking, sucking, and nibbling each of her sensitive nipples. He couldn't help but smirk when she thrust her hips up against him. "I haven't even started yet," he laughed while they worked together to completely remove her tank top. "I love you, Elizabeth Ann," he breathed before covering her neck and face in more sweet kisses.

"I love you so much," she responded while he moved down her body once again and expertly removed her underwear. She shut her eyes tightly while he teasingly moved his tongue up and down her folds before suddenly assaulting her clit. "Oh, God," she cried out, unable to hold back her delight. She almost forgot she could be as vocal as she wanted to without consequence . . . "I'm close, baby, please don't stop," she moaned, much more loudly than usual, as Christian put even more effort into helping her reach the edge.

The sounds of her love were almost enough to make him lose it. They were always trying to be so quiet. He never got to hear her full desire. He composed himself enough to stop himself from exploding while also not taking a break from the task at hand.

He felt her hands tangle in his hair, and he knew that meant she was letting go for him. He felt a bit of pride when her legs quivered around him, and he rubbed her sexy, toned thighs while she recovered from her intense release.

"Wow, Christian . . . Just wow." With three kids, everything had to be quick and to the point. Oral sex was a luxury. She missed it so much . . .

"Make love to me," Christian growled into her ear before flipping them over and moving her on top of him. He wanted to feel her walls clench around him. He needed it.

She bit her lip as she ground her hips into him. She loved how she could feel so much of him, even through the wall of resistance that was his boxers. "Please, baby," he begged, reaching up to massage her tits.

"I suppose you've been pretty patient," she replied, helping him discard his boxers. She kissed the tip of his dick and swirled her tongue around it a couple of times before he urged her on, "You know what I want, Ellie," he groaned. "Ride me," he requested.

And she did just that. She squatted over his rock hard dick and slowly lowered herself all the way onto him. His hands found her hips and grasped them tightly, while she prepared herself to get to work. Just the sight of her moving her hair out of the way made him want to cum deep inside her. Her breasts bouncing in tandem with the movement of her hips was another sight he could hardly handle . . .

She bounced and squeezed and bounced and squeezed; he kept one hand firmly on her hip and used the other to rub her clit as aggressively as he could.

He needed her to let go with him. He needed them to feel it all together.

And they did. And it was wonderful. "Good fucking God, Elizabeth," he said when she finally removed his cock from inside of her and cuddled into his arms. "I married a damn sex goddess."

She giggled. "And I married a man with more stamina than I could ever hope to have," she teased, running her fingers up and down his shaft, which was already growing hard again.

"I'll never get enough of this," he sighed contentedly while his wife nuzzled against his body as closely as she could.

There was so much love now.

"You know you're sorta a hard person to shop for," Christian admitted before revealing a red Cartier jewelry box to his wife. He was nervous about whether or not she'd like the anniversary gift. She was overall practical, so expensive things weren't always to her taste. But this one had meaning, and he hoped she'd see that.

She gave him a gracious smile before slowly opening the box, revealing a beautiful custom Cartier love bracelet. Her eyes widened a bit. She knew what these cost . . .

"I had it set with the babies' birthstones . . . And our birthstones. It's our family." He needed to relieve the anxiety he felt. Words sometimes helped.

"Christian . . . This is so beautiful . . ." Her voice was quiet. She was almost at a loss for words. "Thank you," she practically whispered. She set the box carefully on the counter and removed the bracelet before delicately placing it on her wrist. "I love it. So much." She kissed him in earnest, and he smiled against her lips.

"Your turn!" she said excitedly. "Hold on one sec." She grabbed her husband's present out of her normal hiding spot in their house before handing it over to him.

He chuckled when he realized it was a jewelry box as well. "A watch?" He always liked to guess, but he never guessed right.

"You already have about thirty watches," she countered and jokingly rolled her eyes.

He opened the box. Inside, were two silver dog tags. He knew his wife, and he knew there would be something extraordinary about them.

He read the first one, and tears hit him quickly when he read Sloane's full name and their anniversary date as well as Ivy's full name and her birthdate.

The tears flowed freely after he read the other one. It had Elizabeth's full name and their anniversary date as well as their sons' full names and birthdates. "So you can have the people you love close to your heart," she murmured as Christian pulled her into a deep embrace.

"I am so, so lucky," he whispered through his tears.

"We're both the luckiest," Elizabeth added, kissing her husband passionately.
